I can't believe I'm feeding the troll, but in GNOME (and KDE I'm sure) there is a nice big "Antialiasing: off" button in the font configuration. Obviously if you are too manly to use a desktop environment which provides this then there is the configuration file. I'm going to ignore any "xml sucks" rant though.
